THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Four Good Games Played by the
Eight Contestants.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 4.-The
third game on the home grounds, be-
tween the Indianapolis and Pittsburg
clubs, was witnessed by $500 people.
The only notable feature was the eX-
ceptionally brilliant work of McGeachy,
of the home club, who made several
difficult catches of apparently safe hits.

better and won the game on its merits.

FINE GAME.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The prettiest
game of base ball played here this sea-
son took place between the Washington
and New York clubs to-day, the former
winning through good batting. The
game was replete with brilliant fielding,
no less than six double plays being
made. If one double play was better
than another 1t occurred in the eighth
inning, when Ewing was on third and
Ward on second base, both having
reached these bases on hits. Connor
was at the bat, with only one man out.
Gilmore settled down to work and
struck out the the big first baseman.
Mack threw the ball to Myers in order
to catch Ward, and Ewing ran for the
home plate, but Myers returned the ball
to Mack, who caught Ewing at the plate.
Gilmore completely baffled the big hit
tiers of New York. Mattimore was also
effective, holding the home team down
to two earned runs. Every man felded
his position admirably. AT the bat
Donnelly, Richardson and Myers carried
off the honors. Score:

BOSTON WINS.
PHILADELPHIA, June with the
exception OF FOgarty the local players
could do absolutely nothing with Rad
bOurn to-day. Kelly was away off in
his work. A remarkable feature of the
game was the fact that three of the four
runs scored were hOme-run hits. In the
first inning Nash made one, by hitting
the ball over the center field fence, and
Wheelock made another in the ninth by
hitting the ball to the terrace at left.
Boston made the other run i'll the fourth
on Nash's single and Morrill's double.
Philadelphia scored its only run in the
seventh on Fogarty'S hit over the fence.

ALMOST OVERHAULED.
Detroit starts out the month of June
by losing so steadily that its hold upon
first place is of very shadowy nature.
Boston has in fact won as many games
